The University of West Alabama
Julia Tutwiler Library offers Electronic
Course Reserve (EReserve) in order to
support the teaching activities of the
university. The EReserve policy sets forth
the guidelines that control the EReserve
material.
I. Type
of Material
Faculty members and instructors may place
articles, book chapters, videotapes, and
other media on EReserve. The items will be
indexed under the name of the instructor,
department, course title, and course number.
Access will be through the Voyager online
catalog system.
II. Copyright
Compliance
Only
materials that fulfill copyright regulations
may be placed on reserve.
It is the responsibility of the
instructor submitting material to ensure
that all materials are in compliance with
copyright regulations.
III.
E-Reserve Submission Criteria
Submitted EReserve material must
meet the following criteria:
- All submitted material must be
single sided pages only.
- Because the material will
appear as an EReserve just as it is on
the print copy, it is recommended that
you eliminate as much black area as
possible on the copies.
- Each article, chapter, etc,
must have an identifiable name.
All material submitted must meet
copyright regulations.
Requests should be submitted at least three
buisness days before material is needed
on-line. A separate request form must
accompany each submission.
IV.
E-Reserve Submission Form
An EReserve request form must be
sent, along with material to be scanned, to
the Information Technologies Librarian two
week before reserve items are to be posted.
Digitized files of the material will be
accepted.
V.
Processing Time
Most materials will be made available
on the Voyager online system within one week
of submission of the material. There may be
some exceptions, which may include:
- Items presented on or near the
first day of classes or other peak
times.
- Exceptionally large and/or
several articles presented at one time.
VI. Expiration of E-Reserve Materials
Items are placed on reserve
for the current semester or for a shorter
time period specified by the instructor. On
the last day of the semester or the date
specified by the instructor, the material
will no longer be available from Voyager.
The scanned documents can be re-linked if
the instructor submits a new request form.
